2017 Tomato Agreement

Agreement has been reached for the 2017 processing tomato crop with ConAgra Foods Canada Inc., Highbury Canco Corporation and Sun-Brite Foods Inc. The existing M.O.U. signed in 2016 regarding pricing is still in effect and 2016 contract tonnage will be maintained.

As with any successful negotiations, both sides came to the table and were willing to compromise to reach an agreement. This resulted in a successful deal that will benefit the industry.

I thank all parties for their hard work and look forward with our continued work together as we move ahead with further negotiations.
